Zotero Documents - Chrome
Hello,
I've read through the support documents and I'm still a bit lost. I was using Zotero for Firefox. I recently had to get a new computer and have uploaded Zotero for chrome and found it much easier to use.
The problem is that the material I had saved in Zotero, when I was using Firefox, is now gone. I can't find any of my articles. Any way I can retrieve these? I also saw a way to manually backup your zotero database?
I'm not tech savvy, but need these for school, so step by step instructions are greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Amy

Have you done that?
Second, were you using syncing on your old computer? If so, you can just sync your account with Zotero on your new machine and everything will be good to go:

If not, do you still have access to your old computer?
Unfortunately I do not have access to the old computer. Does that mean my items are just lost?
Thank you!
